A Volcano After All.

NoGALEs, Arizona, May 7.--Later
accounts received here tend to show
the report OF n volcano having broken
out in MILESTONE mountains is true.
A gentleman who arrived from Sonora
yesterday says there is strong evil
dence of volcanic erruptions at point
about forty miles southeast of Mag
dalena, and it is confidently stated
that one peak is throwing out large
volumes OF smoke, accompanied by
streams of lava, smoke and fire and
can be distinctly seen from several
points along the line of the Sonora
railroad. AS far as can be ascertained
the volcano is in the Sierra Azul
range. From the appearance of the
country and the heavy earthquakes
that have occurred it is believed that
other volcanoes will break through in
q few days.

Closing Down.

DETROIT, May IA few weeks ago
when the stove moulders throughout
the country quite work because they
were ordered to work on patterns Of
the st. Louis firm, whose men have
struck for IN advance in wages, the
men in this city remained at work.
1t was claimed by the moulders that
manufacturers had schemed for Il
strike in order to raise prices and have
the blame thrown on the men. On
Wednesday of this week the Manu-
facturers Defense association held %
secret meeting in this city, To-day in
obedience to orders promulgated at
that time the Michigan, Detroit and
Peninuslar Stove companys shut down
throwing 2SOO men out of employ
ment. 1t is thought Cincinnati fac
tories were also ordered closed, the
men there having returned to work on
the Objectionable patterns.

Cold BlOOded Murder.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, May THE
American valley, in Socorro county,
this territory, has perhaps furnished
more cold blooded murderers than any
other spot in the southwestern region.
The report of another murder comes
from there to-day in which VIM.
Slaughter, one OF the wealthiest stock
raisers of New Mexico. was killed by
men named Young Blood and Ad-
kins. Last year Slaughter was II mem
Der OF the Socarro county grand jury,
and a number OF men were indicted
for cattle stealing. Among them
were Young Blood and Atkins, who
believed that Slaughter was mainly
instrumental in procuring indict-
ments, and bad blood has existed be-
tween him and the accused men ever
since. Yesterday, while the lifeless
body OF Anderson was dangling from
the gallows at Socorro, Slaughter met
these two men in American valley about
thirty miles from his home when an
alteration took place, resulting in
both men firing on Slaughter, who was
unarmed and who attempted to escape
from the assassins by putting spurs tc
his horse, but they pursued, firing a;
him until he fell from his saddle
pierced by half "a dozen bullets and
expired without groan. Officers are
in pursuit OF the murderers.

Bnker,s and Brewer,s on q Strike.

SAN FRANCISCO, Mhy 1.-Two strikes
began here to-day, one at the Philadel-
phia brewery, where union men went
out, because non.union employees
were not discharged. Their places
were promptly filed with. non-union
men, about thirty.five in number. The
Brewers Protective association, COM
prised of all the brewery proprietors Of
this city, at meeting held this after
noon, decided to lock out against all
union men to go into effect immedi-
ately. The other strike was by bakers,
caused by the refusal of proprietors of
bakeries to shorten hours of employ
ment and discharge non-union men.
Most OF the employees had complied
with these demands and the strikers
numbered only about forty men.

No Agreement.

CHICAGO, May 7.-At II meeting of
the Trans-Continental railway Of
fetal to-day, nothing was accomplished
by the way of perfecting an organiza-
ton or agreeing upon rates. Tonight
many of the officials left for home dis
gusted. Apparently no system of
differentials could be devised that
would satisfy the many conflicting
interests. 1t is probable that another
meeting will be held in New York next
week, although some of the lines in
sist that they will not be represented.
Much Of the time to-day was occupied
by Commissioner Blanchard in an adj
dress, explaining the position of the
lines east of Chicago and the question
of pro-rate. A convention committee to
take up the subject with eastern lines
Mt some future time was appointed.

JeR Davis as o Reviewer.

NEW ORLEANS, May 6.-Jefferson
Davis has written n review of General
Wolscloy's Life of Gen. Lee" and it
will be printed in tomorrow mornings
papers. Mr.. Davis takes exception to
many OF the English generals state
mcnts and while not finding fault with
the superlative opinion Of Gen. Lees
military ability expressed in the book,
he shows very plainly that he consid-
ers Gen. Wolseley's criticisms of other
southern leaders unjust and unwar-
rantable. The review is written in a
very caustic style and contains inter.
esting matter in the way of estimates
of relative value of the services of con-
federate leaders.

Last Saturday night Mr.. George
Hedges, brcther-in-law of j. b
Chapman, arrived from Salmon
City mines, $50 miles north OF North
Yakima. He has gonc on to his
fathers residence at Fort Simcoe. He
says the distance from Salmon to
Spokane Falls is about the same MS

the mail once week from Spokane
to Salmon, each subscriber paying
one dollar per month. He crosses
on The Wild Goose Bill Ferry over
the Columbia, forty miles above the
mouth of Okanogan river. Mr..
Hedges left Salmon City on Tues
day OF last week. He has two
brothers, Edward and Love, who
settled about twenty miles above
the mouth Of the Okanogan last fall
They have fine natural meade WIS
and bench lands, with plenty of
water to irrigate. The deepest snow
last winter was seven inches. The
west side of the OkanOgan valley L.
well settled, but the east side Is still
included within the boundaries ui

Met-hOw valley is not much settled
1t Is too much subject to late frosts
to be desirable M Il farming district.
Some good mineral Is being found
near the Met-how; among them,
Mr. Hedges left at the office OF The
Farmer sample of ore from the
Anna Belle, owned by j. w. Stone,
the man who discovered the Cle-
e-lum gold mine. The ledge Is IS
inches wide, and the ore assays
Sl24 gold and 500 silver. Stone
also has one other gold lode, one
silver and one copper, on the Met.
how, about twenty miles above its
mouth. The silver is on the west
side of the creek and tie gold and
galena on the east side. Hull, OF
Yakima City, has located an exten.
sion on stones "HOneycomb" lode.
The Salmon mineral zone is encoun.
tered about six miles west of the
OkanOgan river, and extends across
the Met-hoW mountains, across the
Met-how valley and into the Cas-.
cade mountains. There are 800 pros
pectors In the country, and most of
them seem to be well satisfied with
the mineral, and many of them are
making new discoveries every day.
Mr.. Hodges met about twenty-five
prospectors going in on the We
nachie wagon road that leads out of
Ellensburg. He left at this office
specimens of ore from the following
mines: First Thought, Lady of the
Lake, Toughnut and the Anna Belle.
The TOughnut has been bonded to a

forfeiture and was unable to make a
sale of the property within the linn
tied time that the bonds were to run.

Tucson, Arizona, May 7.-Another
violent earthquake is reported in the
San Jose mountains. it is reported
that the canyons are full of water,
brought to the surface by the earth
quake. This is great boon for this
region, rs there are thousands of acres
OF good farming land at the base of
these mountains which only need
water to make them valuable. Anoth-

Gently submitted the London Times

Richard Pigott, formerly proprietor Of

consisting of Gov, Thayer, Treasurer

reported as follows: I'VE, the under
signed, have, at the request of John

National League OF America, carefully
examined the fac simile published in
the London Times of the 18th, ult.,
alleged to have been written by Hon.

an inclosure contained inside OF q
letter Of March 8, 1881, and we have
no hesitation in saying that the
alleged fac simile and said letters
and Enclosures were written by
the same hand the documents
referred to were, letters from Pigott
wherein he tried to blackmail the
league through the treasurer under
pretense that he had been offered five
hundred shillings by the alleged Dub
lin Castle to publish fictitious article
relation to the league fund, prepared
for the purpose of discrediting the
league and letter to him from these
agents which he enclosed as proof of
his statement. In his letter to the
treasurer of the league, Pigott said he
was on the verge of financial ruin and
must have money. He would suppress
the Dublin Castle article, however, if
the league would make him atemporary
loan of 800 shilling" These letters,
and fac-similes of Parnells alleged
letter, the committee above named be-
lieve to be in the handwriting Of the

SERIOUS ASPECT.
BERLIN, May 1.-THE Eeiuz Zeitung
says mixed feeling of disgust and
pity is aroused by the present state OF
France. The conviction is gradually
growing that the efforts of those who
undertook by quietness and common
sense to refrain from adding to the
popular passions will not last long or
be able to stem the tide. The ex-
change of verbal assurances
OF peace between German representa-
tives and NJ. Flaurens, French
minister of foreign affairs does not af-
feet the belief in official circles that
war cannot be long averted. The stu
alton in Alsace-Lorraine increases the
difficulty only. Frontier posts on
either side have ceased to exchange
courtesies and act as if war might
break out ut any moment. Tho police
in Alsace- Lorraine has been strength
ened and special watches put on
French malcontents. Under this sys-
tenn arrests are increasing. De-
crees issued by Prince Hohenloho
governor of Alsace- Lorraine revokes
the functions of Mayor Humbert of
Buschhorn. Among notable expul-
sions are those of Herr Delng, manag-
ing director of Scheltigheim factory of
Treves from Metz, Civil Engineer Re-
miel from Berfeld, and two brothers
named Schwitkhardt, cabinet makers
from Strasburg Metz. The Gazette
nnounces that the authorities will
dissolve all societies and clubs, re-
fusing to admit Germans, and will
endeavor to enforce exclusive use of
German as the official language taught
at Alssce- Lorraine.
PLAN OF COLONIZATION.
The Tagblatt advocates a plan to
colonize the provinces by the gradual
ex-popnlation of French sympathizers,
purchase of land through the state
assisted by land banks, settlement by
German farmers. and special grants to
soldiers of the reserve. In the
meantime there is no state
| OF siege in Alsace-Lorraine
actual French regime is quite as
thorough, as French artisans hitherto
employed in French towns are leav-
ing, French eonsuls sending them to
France. The French popu-
lace indulge in hunt after
Germans whenever they have n
chance. An incident Of this kind oc-
Cured at Belfor. A party of German
excursionists, who made trip from
Freiburg.to Belfor were mobbed rs
soon as they were seen upon the pub
lie promenade. They were stoned and

ton, where they were guarded until
